Day 17

Location - Riverton, Wyoming Miles/Total Miles - 79/1,196 climb - 1,250
We were told that today was an "Active Recovery" day. . . since when is 80 miles any type of recovery? The thing is, I feel great, I must have recovered . . . Just in time to get ruined tomorrow at 120 miles. The day started off brisk but as we dropped in altitude (don't look at the climb, we had to go up to go down) it got hotter. We went from pines, down the green belt along the river, to striking sandstone buttes, to a very arid and lonely land that stretches out before us.

I saw my 1st Antelope today. I think it will be one of many




This is a little church I saw leaving Dubois
